    World Record Dive for Charity

    As many of you here on Scubaboard already know, I recently got back from Belize for my World Record attempt. I went down the morning of Sept. 14th, and did not surface until the morning of Sept. 16th, setting the New World Record for the longest Saltwater scuba dive at 48 hours 2 minutes. I...

    American Diver Breaks World Record in Belize

    I had one fish that came back time and time again and would just sit next to me. I knew it was the same fish because on one side it had a very distinctive scar. I think after being there for so long the fish started to look at me as a piece of the reef. A semi-dry is almost like a dry suit...

    My feet were not too bad, but my hands were trashed. They were pretty painful by the end. In this video, you can see just how white they were. YouTube - Record broken

    American Diver Breaks World Record in Belize

    The one computer I used I only really had down there for a watch. It timed the dive down to 999 minutes at which point it just stayed there. If it had more memory maybe it would have continued to count down the dive. It never did go into a deco even upto the 999 minutes. The switch from...

    American Diver Breaks World Record in Belize

    33 Tanks were used during the dive. 2 Regulator sets were used during the event. Both were set up with an octo and a Quick disconnect on a low pressure line. When it was time for a tank change, my team would bring down the new tank/reg set up and ready to go. They would set the tank behind...

    American Diver Breaks World Record in Belize

    That's funny, everyone has said well the best part of this was you were a member of, or trained by, or a part of. Now if I didn't make it no one would want anyone to know I was a part of their group.

    American Diver Breaks World Record in Belize

    It's the grossest part of this adventure, and everyone wants to know about it. I went on an all liquid diet the Friday before the dive. This purged all the solid waste. During the dive I did have to urinate, and just went a head and did it. My plans went pretty well because I did not have...

    American Diver Breaks World Record in Belize

    There were a few octopus that were out during the night which was pretty cool. The only time I've seen them in the past was when someone else pointed them out in the reef. These were out in the open. There was also a group of 3 Manatees that swam through during the second day. first I...

    I think what he was saying is that there is no way of telling when a bad spot in the tank may show up.
